Hey guys! I'm looking for new books and i just love books with a unique format. Can be plot, writing style or even cover. My most unique reads were battle royale and horrostor. What are yours? Edit: just remember invisible monsters by Chuck Palanhiuk! Another unique book.

I've found "children's" books are frequently very unique whilst still being good. A Series of Unfortunate Events, is a great example of this. Here are two to check out.

The Stars Beneath Our Feet, by David Barclay Moore

The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making by Catherynne M. Valente
